order_n to_o church-communion_n as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v not_o require_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a forbid_a prov._n 30.6_o add_v thou_o not_o unto_o his_o word_n lest_o he_o reprove_v

and_o though_o the_o thing_n you_o main_o scruple_n at_o such_o as_o the_o cross_n and_o surplice_n be_v more_o proper_o instance_n of_o obedience_n to_o human_a authority_n than_o term_n of_o

it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o thing_n impose_v in_o our_o liturgy_n be_v forbid_v by_o god_n than_o i_o own_o that_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o schism_n lie_v in_o we_o and_o that_o you_o have_v very_o

allege_v two_o text_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v useless_a and_o impertinent_a till_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o we_o make_v real_a addition_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n those_o he_o mention_n in_o the_o psalm_n shall_v be_v consider_v by_o and_o by_o that_o which_o i_o presume_v he_o here_o mean_v be_v that_o the_o thing_n enjoin_v in_o our_o service-book_n be_v not_o command_v by_o god_n in_o his_o word_n be_v addition_n to_o it_o and_o that_o therefore_o these_o two_o text_n of_o scripture_n be_v a_o undeniable_a proof_n of_o the_o unlawfulness_n of_o they_o this_o must_v be_v his_o

of_o make_v addition_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o either_o do_v what_o that_o forbid_v or_o appoint_v somewhat_o else_o instead_o of_o what_o god_n have_v appoint_v or_o we_o add_v such_o

that_o which_o be_v or_o else_o we_o give_v the_o same_o efficacy_n to_o humane_a institution_n as_o god_n do_v to_o his_o but_o he_o can_v never_o charge_v we_o with_o any_o of_o these_o and_o how_o then_o can_v he_o charge_v we_o with_o addition_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o add_v be_v add_v to_o the_o substance_n and_o make_v the_o thing_n add_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v add_v to_o but_o when_o the_o substance_n remain_v entire_a as_o much_o after_o this_o humane_a appointment_n as_o it_o be_v before_o it_o it_o can_v be_v call_v a_o addition_n to_o it_o in_o the_o sense_n the_o scripture_n take_v that_o word_n in_o but_o to_o the_o argument_n which_o these_o man_n draw_v from_o deuter._n four_o 2._o dr._n fowler_n 183._o our_o present_a bishop_n a_o

will_v have_v true_a namely_o that_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v do_v out_o of_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o what_o be_v express_o and_o particular_o command_v but_o episcopius_n who_o may_v be_v listen_v to_o in_o this_o matter_n because_o no_o episcopalian_a have_v show_v that_o these_o word_n you_o shall_v not_o add_v unto_o the_o word_n which_o i_o command_v you_o neither_o shall_v you_o diminish_v aught_o from_o it_o be_v no_o new_a precept_n but_o only_o signify_v you_o shall_v not_o transgress_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n by_o do_v any_o thing_n

with_o the_o improper_a application_n of_o that_o of_o isa_n 1.12_o yet_o it_o can_v belong_v to_o we_o who_o place_n no_o far_a religion_n and_o acceptableness_n in_o our_o prayer_n and_o service_n than_o as_o they_o be_v accompany_v with_o that_o sincerity_n faith_n repentance_n and_o obedience_n without_o which_o god_n tell_v the_o jew_n he_o have_v no_o delight_n in_o their_o sacrifice_n though_o they_o be_v of_o his_o own_o appoint_v nor_o have_v require_v they_o to_o tread_v his_o court_n without_o these_o divine_a qualification_n but_o if_o we_o must_v answer_v to_o that_o

a_o idol_n and_o a_o accurse_a thing_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v burn_v i_o answer_v positive_o no_o because_o for_o that_o very_a reason_n all_o the_o silver_n and_o gold_n and_o vessel_n of_o
